Utangulizi wa Sauti za Kiswahili (Introduction to Swahili Sounds)

Swahili sounds (Sauti za Kiswahili) form the foundation of correct pronunciation and word formation. These sounds are categorized into vowels (Irabu) and consonants (Konsonanti), which combine to create syllables. Unlike English, Swahili has a consistent sound system where each letter is pronounced the same way in every context. Understanding these sounds improves fluency, pronunciation accuracy, and reading skills.
